Description/
Intervention:
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose
of PCI-24781 that can be given to patients with advanced or metastatic cancer
and to find out whether the treatment schedule is tolerated by patients. The
safety of the study drug will also be studied. This is the first time that the
oral form of this drug will be given to humans.
.
Study Objectives / Outcomes
Primary Objective:
• Establish the safety and tolerability of the oral capsule form of PCI-24781 in terms of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and establish the recommended Phase II dose

Secondary Objectives:
• Determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters for the oral study drug
• Measure tumor response to the oral study drug

Enrollment Eligibility
If you do not meet the enrollment eligibility, there may be other treatment options for you. Please Contact the Referral Office for more information.

Inclusion Criteria:1) Women and men age >/= 18 years

2) Histologically confirmed, measurable solid tumor, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, or multiple myeloma that has relapsed after standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists

3) Ability to swallow oral capsules without difficulty

4) Estimated life expectancy > 12 weeks

5) ECOG performance status </= 2

6) Creatinine </= 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min

7) Total bilirubin </= 1.5 × institutional ULN (unless elevated from documented Gilbert's syndrome)

8) AST and ALT </= 2.5 × institutional ULN (</= 5 x institutional ULN in the presence of liver metastases)

9) Platelet count >/= 100,000/uL

10) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >/= 1500/uL

11) Hgb >/= 9.0 g/dL

12) Patients with clinically stable, previously treated brain metastases who are not on corticosteroids are eligible

13) Willing and able to sign a written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:1) Patients who have had immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (within 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to first day of drug dosing

2) Patients who have undergone major surgery within 4 weeks prior to first day of drug dosing

3) Patients who have received another investigational drug within 4 weeks

4) Evidence of leptomeningeal metastasis

5) Patients unable to swallow oral medications or with pre-existing gastrointestinal disorders that might interfere with proper absorption of the oral drugs (eg, WDHA syndrome, carcinoid syndromes, diarrhea due to infections, malabsorption syndromes secondary to surgery or chemotherapy)

6) Uncontrolled illness including but not limited to: ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure), unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, and psychiatric illness that would limit compliance with study requirements

7) Patients with risk factors for, or who are receiving medications known to prolong QTc interval and that may be associated with Torsades de Pointes

8) QTc prolongation (defined as a QTc interval >/= 450 msecs) or other significant ECG abnormalities including 2nd degree AV block type II, 3rd degree AV block, or bradycardia (ventricular rate less than 50 beats/min)

9) History of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina), coronary angioplasty, and/or stenting within the past 6 months

10) For patients with history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and/or prior anthracycline exposure, LVEF < 50%, as assessed by ventriculography (nuclear or heart catheterization) or echocardiogram, when performed within 28 days of first dose of study drug

11) For patients with history of coronary artery disease, cardiac stress test (either exercise or pharmacologic) demonstrates clinically significant abnormalities when performed within 28 days of first dose of study drug

12) Patients with known HIV infection

13) Concurrent systemic hormonal therapy except: stable LHRH agonist therapy for prostate cancer; hormonal therapy (eg, megestrol) for appetite stimulation; nasal, ophthalmic, and topical glucocorticoid preparations when appropriate; stable oral glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement for adrenal insufficiency; or oral contraceptives

14) Patients who have other medical or psychiatric illness or organ dysfunction which, in the opinion of the investigator, would either compromise the patient's safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the study agent

15) Pregnant or lactating women (female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days of first day of drug dosing or, if positive, a pregnancy ruled out by ultrasound)

16) Women of childbearing potential or sexually active men unwilling to use adequate contraceptive protection during the course of the study

17) Patients receiving concurrent therapeutic anticoagulation with platelet counts below 150,000/uL
